Math Club This year the Math Club was formed in the Girl's School in order to promote interest in the many fascinating areas of mathematics which are not covered in ordinary classroom work. Sponsored by Mrs. Crumpton, the club was composed of a select group of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Among the most interesting pro- grams at the monthly meetings were a discussion led by Dr. Frandsen, from the U-T Mathematics Department, on Sphere- land, a more advanced version of E. A. Abbott's Flatland, and a lecture by Dr. Dessart of U-T on probability. Plans for next year include enlarging the membership and widening the variety of topics.

Spanish Club The Spanish Club began its second yearls activities with pinata-making sessions during classes, the result of which was the main attraction at their Christmas party held in the gymnasium after Fall Term Exams. At another meeting, the group participated in a program of Spanish games, and the last meeting of the year was a talk by Gracie Antigalas, an AFS student from Uruguay, on her country and her observations as a foreign exchange student. The members of the club also voted unanimously to sponsor a foster child in some Spanish-speaking country and plans for the last meeting of the year included a Spanish dinner. French Club The advanced French classes initiated this fall a French Club, to enable those third and fourth year students who wish to supplement their study of the language to do so. After the organizational meeting in November at sponsor Mrs. Smith's home fat which the girls prepared and ate a real French mealj, there were no regularly scheduled meetings set up, rather, the club centered its activities around events in the Knoxville area of interest to its members, such as French films at U-T, the presentation of Moliere's Le Tartuffe, a special speaker, or a French dinner. One particularly interesting program was Miss Anne Foster's account of her travels in France. The club also helped with the skit presented by French IV in Chapel on May 14.
